"As opposed ta my Tabby Stripes which I wuz born wif."





"Doan yoo fink my Sun Stripes makes my Tabby Stripes even moar bootifull?




"Huh?"

Dante likes to keep on top of things -- especially when he has claimed them as his own.


"I likes ta be outstandin' on impawtant issues", remarks Dante.



"Even if it means yoo hasta be out standin' in the cold!"




Don't you just love a pussycat with PURRinciples?

...  just one GIANT litter box!

DANTE: FORAYS ARE THE STUFF OF DREAMS!

I put Dante in his green sweater so we could go outside and get some fresh air together on the front porch.

 Now that he's older, Dante needs something to keep his arthritic hips warm, so the clothing is no longer just for fashion PURRposes.


Then he surprised me, by making a foray out into the snow.  Said foray didn't last very long though as the snow was still quite soft and his front paws sank into it deeply.

"Uh-oh, I has dat sinkin' feline!" remarks he.




So shortly after extracting himself, he was back on his chair on the front porch, but this time sporting evidence of his brief encounter with the white stuff.


Ah well, he can still dream, can't he?


And so he does.

Here is a picture of Dante in the powdery snow from a few years ago.


And his big fluffy tail is his powder puff!




I guess we should just call him "Puff Kitty".



"Even doe yoor not dat brite
Wen it comes ta me yoo got dat rite!" raps he.
